I need help with acceptable reasons to nominate pages for deletion. Wbm4567 (talk) 03:04, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Wbm4567, AFD is for articles, media, and other pages that do not meet the relevant criteria for content of the encyclopedia. The list of common deletion reasons can be found here, but the main ones include

Content that meets at least one of the criteria for speedy deletion
Copyright violations and other material violating Wikipedia's non-free content criteria
Vandalism, including inflammatory redirects, pages that exist only to disparage their subject, patent nonsense, or gibberish
Advertising or other spam without any relevant or encyclopedic content
Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources, including neologisms, original theories and conclusions, and hoaxes
Articles for which thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed
Articles with subjects that fail to meet the relevant notability guidelines (WP:N, WP:GNG, WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, WP:CORP, and so forth)
Articles that breach Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons
Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia

Great, thank you! Wbm4567 (talk) 04:20, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I endorse SmokeyJoe's advice to you. I would also add that you might want to focus on editing which will give you a better understanding of policies and how they relate to the content Wikipedia. -- Whpq (talk) 20:25, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks! Wbm4567 (talk) 20:26, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Draft:Bobby Lackey Stadium

Hello Wbm4567, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Draft:Bobby Lackey Stadium, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: You are not the original author of the draft! You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 14:38, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note - Despite previous advice to do something other than deletion, you have tagged this draft for speedy deletion with a criteria that is clearly wrong. You are not the author of the draft. I will make this as clear as possible. Stop trying to delete things. Get experience with actual editing of the encyclopedia. -- Whpq (talk) 14:43, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Its sources are unreliable. Wbm4567 (talk) 16:32, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
How does that make you the author of the draft? -- Whpq (talk) 20:20, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Whpq I’m just saying! Wbm4567 (talk) 20:21, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Then what are you saying about trying to get a draft deleted by claiming to be the author? == Whpq (talk) 20:26, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The original author is blocked! The draft had not been edited in five months. Wbm4567 (talk) 20:28, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Again, how does that make you the author unless this is an alternate account for User:Matthewjaredgarza2010? -- Whpq (talk) 20:32, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I’m not! Wbm4567 (talk) 20:33, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I’m related to that user. Wbm4567 (talk) 20:39, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That user told me that they wanted that page to be deleted by their request. Wbm4567 (talk) 20:41, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I came here from Bbb23's talk. For what it is worth, it looks to be G13able in a month or so. Alternatively, @Wbm4567: might be able to nominate for deletion at WP:MFD, though I don't know how that would work out. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:06, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've gone ahead and actioned this G7. -- asilvering (talk) 05:46, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Orphaned non-free image File:I Believe by Phil Wickham.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:I Believe by Phil Wickham.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:25, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@B-bot I requested deletion for that file; it’s now deleted. Wbm4567 (talk) 22:17, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

May 2025

As previously advised, your mass nominations (and speedy deletion tagging) is disruptive. You are free to contribute to other areas. Continued disruptive contributions could result to a block. Best, Reading Beans, Duke of Rivia 07:59, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok ok. I’ve stopped. Now I need more help of what contributions are useful. What should I read that talks about useful contributions? Wbm4567 (talk) 11:23, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Being in too much of a hurry to make useful contributions often results in inexperienced editors complicating the work that is being done by experienced editors. Slow down. If you are about 99% certain that something that you are about to do will be helpful, just think about it for a while anyway. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:18, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Robert McClenon Ok, I’ll remember that. Wbm4567 (talk) 23:11, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Drops In the Ocean (May 7)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by BuySomeApples were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Drops In the Ocean and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

BuySomeApples (talk) 04:37, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Wbm4567! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! BuySomeApples (talk) 04:37, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Drafts

Please stop reviewing drafts, and please stop nominating drafts for deletion. Leave the drafts created by other editors alone. You are wasting the time of MFD and are not helping. You aren't ready to take part in the draft review process. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:09, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I need help on how to properly close discussions. Wbm4567 (talk) 03:20, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Wbm4567, looking at the other posts on your talk page, it seems to me that you probably should not be closing discussions at this time. Please work on improving the encyclopedia for now. -- asilvering (talk) 04:47, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Query

What is your relationship to Sorelle G and Bestie12346? beef [talk] 05:20, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked as a sockpuppet

Wikipedia's technical logs indicate that this user account has been or may be used abusively as a sockpuppet of User:Matthewjaredgarza2010 per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Matthewjaredgarza2010. It has been blocked indefinitely from editing to prevent abuse.

Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should review the guide to appealing blocks, and then appeal your block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}}. Note that anything you post in your unblock request will be public, so you may alternatively use the Unblock Ticket Request System to submit an appeal if it contains information that must be private.

Administrators: Checkusers have access to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or by administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. You must not loosen or remove this block, or issue an IP block exemption, without consulting with a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee. Administrators who undo checkuser blocks without permission from a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee may be summarily desysopped.

Appeal

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Wbm4567 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I understand what I was blocked for, this is a sockpuppet of Matthewjaredgarza2010, and I was disrupting Wikipedia. I understand that multiple accounts are not allowed for abuse.

Decline reason:

Obviously not, or you'd be contesting the block with your original account. Yamla (talk) 12:26, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
